d-i still uses it in some cases, and finishing off the work of removing that and making sure that grub2 works out of the box in the relevant cases is likely to take a while. We need to keep grub-legacy around at least until somebody has got round to doing that work. Apologies for having missed the earlier bug on this subject: I wasn't subscribed to the package in the PTS, which was entirely my fault. I've fixed that and should notice bugs in a more timely fashion now. On Thu, Oct 18, 2018 at 03:39:12PM +0200, Bernhard Übelacker wrote: > might this crash be the same as reported in #898553 ? Indeed. Merging. Thanks for your patch there, which looks as reasonable as it's likely to get - I'm having a few unrelated difficulties getting a test environment completely working, but I'll upload as soon as I've sorted that out. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
